Anyway, I started poking around your blog and I'm so glad that I did. I grew up on the mission field and am currently a young married adult living in the States. I never planned to live here after college, but it just has worked out this way. My husband and I live in Memphis where there is so much brokenness and need and yet... there is a part of me that longs to return overseas somewhere where the need is even more desperate than it is here. Your blog has pulled on my heart strings. I love how you are following God's call. What a blessing you are!

THE BEST FOOD EVER, if you like Israeli food, that is. And, it is all safe to eat. When I was in Nepal, we must have eaten there at least 20 times and never got sick. Also, the falafel wrap stand just under the restaurant is just as amazing.<br /><br />Love love love Nepal. One of my favorite places I have ever visited, even with all the crazy crowds, trash and assault on each and every one of my senses.jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07353964050059215116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569414599779352185.post-76318120678632445092013-04-06T02:50:16.751-07:002013-04-06T02:50:16.751-07:00Yay!
